Reliable erosion control on slopes with Novura Secumat®
Slopes are particularly susceptible to erosion caused by wind, rain, and surface runoff, leading to soil loss, instability, and environmental damage. In areas with steep gradients or high precipitation, uncontrolled erosion can threaten infrastructure, vegetation, and ecosystems.
Novura Secumat® erosion control mats provide an effective and long-term solution by stabilising slopes, preventing soil displacement, and supporting vegetation growth. Their quick and easy installation reduces both financial and time expenditure, making them ideal for various terrains and environmental conditions. Discover how Novura Secumat® solutions enhance slope stability and erosion protection.
How to easily protect a slope from erosion
Depending on the nature of the subsoil and the local conditions, high-quality geotextile systems are particularly suitable for permanent erosion protection. Greened, 100% biodegradable natural fibre systems are ideal for temporary erosion control.
On slopes, the erosion control systems reduce particle detachment and particle transport or support particle binding or sedimentation. They act against rill and tunnel erosion as well as sheet erosion.
Landslide preparedness: More than just protection against erosion
Yet the protection systems have much more to offer: They become a sustainable design element in the infrastructure and the planting provides natural vegetation.
- Valuable habitat for insects and birds
- Lowers the climate temperature
- Retains soil moisture
- Binds fine dust
Slope stabilisation: Make it environmentally friendly
Temporary natural coir fibre systems
They delay surface run-off and stabilise the surface of the soil, significantly reducing the risk of soil erosion. The three variants of coir net can meet many different project requirements in terms of tensile strength and service life.
Typical solutions
- Vegetating trench/brook slopes
- Vegetating dykes
- Securing and vegetating infrastructure slopes
Temporary natural jute fibre systems
The composition of the bast fibre means jute has a particularly high-water absorbency. Jute nets are therefore particularly suitable for semi-arid areas where water-scarce phases follow short periods of precipitation. They act as a water reservoir and gradually release the water during the dry phases.
- Vegetating aid for infrastructure
- Protecting troughs
- Protection against soil intrusion in still water bodies
Geotextile systems sustainably withstand even extreme weather conditions
Permanent erosion control with geomats
Geomats reduce the impact force of precipitation and demonstrably improve infiltration, the volume of water infiltrating into the interception storage, the transitional storage.
Typical solutions
- Protect slopes in infrastructure projects
- Vegetating, protecting, and securing facing systems, trench/brook beds
Permanent erosion control with geocells
The cell walls are perforated to provide a hydraulic connection between the individual pockets and to allow excess water to drain away. The perforation therefore also provides a path for roots to grow between cells.
- Protecting slopes in infrastructure projects
- Vegetating, protecting, and securing seals such as geomembrane or clay liners, e.g., slopes on landfill sites
- Vegetating for rapid, long-term integration into the landscape
